About this property

Downtown Coeur D' Alene Turn of the Century Home

The Benson House is just a few blocks from the heart of town, the beach, and City Park. It is a perfect place to stay for all the summer activities and events that Coeur d' Alene offers. It is only 2 blocks of the up and coming Midtown which has great resturants and shops.

This centennial home was built in 1907 and has been completely restored, keeping many of the original features. It has been updated with all the modern amenities, INCLUDING WiFi.

The wrap around porch is especially charming with cushioned wicker furniture creating a relaxing "step back in time" feel. The huge fenced backyard has a large deck with gas grill, table and chairs. A large back yard provides plenty of room for games. Lawn games provided include: ladderball, beanbag toss, and horse shoes. This park like setting makes the Benson House an excellent location for a family gathering or group.


The second floor offers a large bedroom with a king-size bed. A second bedroom which has a queen-size bed, and a third bedroom with lots of character offers a twin-sze bed. The bathroom features a claw foot tub and and connecting shower.

The main floor has a nice-size living room and large dining room that seats 6 +. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities. The fourth bedroom, located on this floor, offers a double bed with an adjoining bathroom.

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING: From the Benson House, you can walk to any number of coffee shops, restaurants, clubs, art galleries, antique stores and shopping boutiques. The beach, with all the boat rental and water sport activities, is just a short walk from the house.

Minutes away from world famous golf courses, great fishing, bike and hiking trails, and horseback riding. Within a short distance you can ride the worlds longest gondola at Silver Mountain, enjoy Silverwood theme park, visit the Coueur d' Alene Casino, or go water rafting.

THINKING OF A WINTER GET-AWAY? Ask about our non-holiday off season specials. You'll find this house to be a cozy winter retreat. Silver Mountain Ski Resort is less than an hour's drive, and Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort is an hour and a half drive. The Thanksgiving FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS is spectacular, drawing people from all over the northwest. Downtown Coeur'd Alene has all the beauty and charm of a scene from Currier & Ives over the Christmas Holiday Season.

Charming

Staying at this home is like staying at your Grandparents house. It’s vintage and charming while being comfortable and homey. We enjoyed the location and having a few comforts provided such as coffee and laundry soap. We are a multi generational group and everyone was more than satisfied with the accommodations.

The Benson House

We had a wonderful experience and stay in CDA thanks to The Benson house. The house is full of charm and quirks, the porch and backyard are magnificent, and the owners were very responsive and accommodating. I’m tempted to leave a terrible review to keep this gem a secretBut I won’t do that to Gary!

Funtastic!!

Couer D'aleane is a great vacation spot to go with kids. We had lot of fun going around the town and visiting the lake. The house is located at 10 min walking distance from lake and it is great. We were supposed to be a group of 8, but we actually ended up as a group of 4. The living and bedroom may have been smaller for 8 people. The host was fantastic in communicating and checking with us regularly.

Get-away Week with Friends

We are three well-traveled (nationally and internationally) friends. We all agreed that this was the BEST VRBO property in which we have ever stayed. From the well-stocked kitchen to the beautifully decorated interior to the fantastic front porch and backyard, the home exceeded our expectations. The owner was super responsive in all communication and access to the property was simple (and contactless). Highly recommend this Turn of the Century rental!

Great home - clean and comfortable

This home was just as it was advertised. The bedrooms were a nice size. Two bathrooms worked well for our family of seven. The kitchen was well stocked, with plenty of pots, pans, bowls and dishes. Plus there were spices and other cooking essentials in the pantry. It is the nicest home we've stayed in when booking through VRBO. Thank you.

Family vacation

We stayed for the week, husband, myself and three adult children. Lots of room to spread out. Enjoyed sitting in the backyard every morning. It’s a short walk to many things…..grocery store, lake, downtown and lots of restaurants. The house is older but so quaint! Absolutely loved the area for vacation.

Step back in time

We absolutely loved this property. Staying here was like visiting grandma’s house, in the best possible way! The house was thoroughly appointed with sweet decorations, unique furniture, and a fully stocked kitchen. The backyard is bigger than the pictures can show, and the location is a perfect walk to town. A special thanks to property manager Gary who was easy to reach and beyond accommodating.
